Saith man to man: We've heard and know
That we no master need
To live upon this earth, our own,
In fair and manly deed.
The grief of slaves long passed away
For us hath forged chain,
Till now each workers patient day
Builds up the House of Pain.
And we, shall we too crouch and quail,
Ashamed, afraid of strife,
And, lest our lives ultimately fail,
Embrace the Death in life?
Nay! cry aloud and have no fear;
We few against the world g
Awake, arise the hope we bear
Against the curse is hurled.
1t grows and grows-are we the same,
The feeble band, the few?
Or what are these with eyes ahame
And hands to deal and do?
This is the host that bears the word:
No Master, high or low <
A lightning flame, a shearing sword,
A storm to overthrow.

How many thousands of women there
are in this great land OF poverty and
plenty, stitching their lives away.
Shut up In little attics in the boiling
heat of summer, or in damp cellars in the
freezing cold Of winter.
Stitch, stitch, stitch, we have heard II
all before. From one years end to an
other, nothing else; insufficient food, none
OF the comforts or pleasures Of life.
Women in New York making shirts for
twenty-five cents day, from early morn

Women in San Francisco making over

Thousands of women shaving day and

The Alexander canvass Is pro-
crossing with marked activity, and
Mr.. Laurence w. Corbett chances
to succeed speaker Stuart, in the
Virginia Legislature, grows
brighter as the campaign closes.
Mr.. Corbett is a hard worker and
is backed by willing aids, but the
canvass lacks the dash, and brave
bearing OF that young and energet-
ic Negro journalist, Magnus l..
Robinson. 1t was he who nomina-
ted L. w. Corbett for the House
of Delegates in the Bee of last
June, and the first man to bring
him out in the National Republi-
can. But for Mr.. Robinson's re-

GRANT AND LINCOLN,

The Atlanta Defiance has proposed Fred
Grant and Robert Lincoln as suitable
presidential timber for 1888.
Now, the Republican party can not
risk these two gentlemen upon the repu-
tation Of their fathers, but it wants to
nominate Two men who can be elected up
on their own merits. John Sherman is
the one who should have the first place on
the ticket and he can be elected upon his
own merits and not his fathers. Nobody
denies that these two gentlemen are pop
ular, and the nomination or Mr.. Grant as
secretary of state of the state of New
York, doubtless Increases his popularity,
but do the country know Of the good that
he and Lincoln have done to demand tie
highest positions in the lands. No, Sir; as
pirants for the presidency must have
some other prestige besides being sons of
great men. One Of them might possibly
do for the second place, but the PROPOSE
ton 70 I'LL the first by either, is premature,
Marion Headlight.
The age ofsentiment has passed.
We have no objection to Lincoln,
but we do objetc to Grant, as he is
a little pusilanimous fop, who ex-
poets to be elected secretary of
state of New York on the name
and reputation of his father.

MR., DOWNINGS REASON.

Mr.. G.. 7. Downing; alias the
Ex.-Caterer of the House of Rep
resentatives of tine United States,
is never at ease. Whenever MIR.
Frederick Douglass gives express
sion of his opinion on public meas
ures, this same Mr.. Downing bobs
up like a scared rat, as if to seek a
hole to hide himself. A man who
leaves his party and refuses to sup
port its principles because be failed
to obtain an office is not the man
o criticlse the position of a repu-
table citizen. and a recognized rep.
resentative: Some men come into
public notoriety by fighting their
superiors, such has been the posi-
ton of Mr.. Downing, Who is
Downing? He was at one time a
wide mouth and blantant republi-
can who declared in speeches
that the democratic party was any
thing but honest; that the saliva
tion of the Negro, was in the re-
publican party that liberated the
bondsmen and give them the light.
Some several years ago, Mr.. Dow.
ming was an applicant for the
House restaurant, a position he
held before he was removed, by a
Democratic House. After the re-
publican party got. possession OF
the House Mr.. Downing again
made fight, among his republi-
can friends to get the House rest
aurant, but he failed. Since that
time, he has abused the republican
party and certain representatives
of that party, with pen and tongue
which would have done credit to
a corner boot black. Did Mr.. Dow
ming leave the republican party
because that party injured the
Negro, or did he leave because
Mr.. Downing deemed it an insult
because he failed to secure the

from the House restaurant, the
PIaindeaIer which Mr.. N. E. King
was Ed, demanded of the republi-
camp arty better treatment, and ad,
vocated independent thoughts and
action among the colored people,
but he advised NO negro to sup

cratic party, because that party
was and is inimical to the Negro.

and confidential for them to be in
the embraces of the popular but
lecherous minister. This is no
fancy sketch but one true to nat
ure. We have in our minds eye
just such preachers.
All of our preachers are not of
this sort. Neither does a maiori.
ty belong to this class, but there
are too many who fall in this ca
tegory and by their example do
more to depreciate religion and
their race than their talents can do
to exemplify the rormer or elevate
the latter.
The place for such men is not
in the ministry. Hypocrisy pro-
family, and lewdness are not quail
ifcations for the sacred desk.
Such men should be 'spotted"
wherever found and be made by
the pressure of the test of fitness to
''step down and OUT and not
desecrate the pulpit "
The attack on the oolored pull
pit by Mr.. Cromwell, the editor
of the Aduocate is in our opinion a
base, false and malicious fcharge.
We don't believe that our esteem
ed contemporary can find one col
ored minister in this city who is
guilty of one act charged against
him, but Mr.. Cromwell. 1t is a
slander on the entire colored min
istry. He makes the charge with
out distinction. He says that
some of our most learned and
most eloquent ministers are
guilty of this act, which leads us
to suspicion, as we'll as others, that
he means some of our highly re-
spected ministers of the gospel in
whom the people conide and who
are the angels OF peace and wis
dom. While it may be said. that
there is some debaucheryin the
u'pit, we are confident that such
doings are not carried on among
our respectable ministers.
After making an attack on the
pulpit, Mr.. Cromwell in the same
issue and same column makes the
following, appeal:
"We need at least two thousand
paying subscribers right in this
city to run a frat class weekly
with such a patronage we could
give "colored" paper unsurpass-
ed by any now published, a paper
with the local interests of the diff
ferent sections of our city fully
and regularly represented; with
its news and editorial departments
up to the standard and it's typo
graphical appearance above ordi-
nary criticism. Such a paper,
whether edited by US or any one
else, would reflect credit upon our
